David Forde: 6 – Not a great deal for either keeper to do. Made a good save from Alex Macdonald’s free kick.

Brad Halliday: 6 – Another decent performance from the full-back, particularly in the second half when a lot came from the right-hand side.

Greg Taylor: 8* – A commanding performance from the centre-back, constantly talking to Harry Darling next to him and helping the defence through a difficult game. Man of the match.

Harry Darling: 7 – A tough ask for the youngster on his Football League debut, but he handled it well and earned a clean sheet.

Jake Carroll: 7 – Very impressive in the first half and he worked well with George Maris going forward. Probably had the U’s best chance of the game and if he managed to turn it in, it would have been one of the goals of the season.

Gary Deegan: 6 – One of the skipper’s quieter games. Still made a superb block in the second half to deny MacDonald.

George Maris: 6 – Great pass to set up Carroll and a good all round display.

Adam Phillips: 7 – Very good first half. Cambridge United will really benefit from his set-pieces. When he gets a few more games under his belt you can tell he will be a real asset to this team.

Jevani Brown: 6 – A frustrating day for the midfielder. He had a few shots from the outside the area but he was well defended for the most part.

Uche Ikpeazu: 6 – Had a snap shot at the start of the second half which was well saved by Conrad Logan, but Rhys Bennett did exceptionally well throughout the game to mark him.

Billy Waters: 8 – Great debut from the Northampton Town loanee. Ran himself ragged and was a toe away from getting on the end of Phillips' free kick

Subs

Dave Amoo: N/A – The biggest disappointment of the day by a long way. It was a massive shame to see him leave the pitch after coming on a sub after a few minutes.

Harrison Dunk: 6 – Added some much needed width in the second half.

Barry Corr: 6 – Great to see him back and he managed to get a shot off in his short time on the pitch.
